The Greek word “hyalos” means “glass” or “transparent”. It gave its name to the term hyaline which is both technical and poetic, used to describe object or effects that are crystal-clear and luminous…and also the name of this modern, graphic, soft and elegant design. The pattern is created using the “sfumato” technique: many thin layers of transparent paint create blurred and faded outlines, giving the shapes a more natural look. This artistic use of light and shade produces captivating visual effects. Printed of a lovely viscose linen fabric, HYALIN blends its delicate style with a supple material. Its Martindale of 20,000 makes it ideal for decorative seating.
